Multiple Alternative Views

You want to send an email that includes both rich HTML and plain text versions? Postal makes it easy.

Step 1

Create the main view. This will have the headers and reference the views to use.

~\Views\Emails\Example.cshtml:

To: [email protected]
From: [email protected]
Subject: Fancy email
Views: Text, Html

Create the text view. Note the naming convention: Example.cshtml -> Example.Text.cshtml

~\Views\Emails\Example.Text.cshtml

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Hello @ViewBag.PersonName,
This is a message

You must specify a single Content-Type header.

Create the HTML view, also with a single Content-Type header.

~\Views\Email\Example.Html.cshtml

Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

<html>
  <body>
    <p>Hello @ViewBag.PersonName,</p>
    <p>This is a message</p>
  </body>
</html>
